My wife and I were recently married and found a few ways to slim down our wedding costs. Over the next few weeks I’ll post some of the better gems so that all of you bride and grooms to be can take advantage of them. This week, our tip involves buying a small cake and then pairing it with cheaper sheet cakes.
When it comes to your big day, it’s important to get a nice beautiful cake, but it’s not necessary to get a nice big beautiful cake. One way we trimmed down our cake expense was to buy a reasonably sized three-tiered cutting cake and then several sheet cakes for our guests. What eventually happens is that you cut the cutting cake for all your guests to see and then the caterer rushes everything back into the kitchen for cutting.
By using a sheet cake, you cut both costs and time of service. With a sheet cake already prepared in the back, the pieces can be cut and ready to serve almost immediately after they carry away the cutting cake. Had you gone with a larger cutting cake, you would have to wheel it back, cut it, then serve. This cuts down on your guests’ wait time and your costs.
